FUSE binding protein FUBP3 is a potent regulator in Japanese encephalitis virus infection

Abstract Background The JEV genome is a positive-sense RNA with a highly structured capped 5′UTR, 3′UTR and a large open reading frame. 3′UTR is the untranslated region of flavivirus and has various important functions during viral replication, such as translation, replication and encapsidation.
